JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Have Tons but, I have always liked these from the big snow storms last winter in the mid-Atlantic.

Fully Loaded tractor-trailer wadded into a snow back and just about jack-knifed across the Emittsburg Pike just outside of the Gettysburg Battelfields causing a huge mess!



Anyways we decided to give it a try





Got him enough out of the bank to where the tandems caught some traction and he was able to move again. Cleared the straps then he backed back into a ditch on the other side of the the road with the trailer axles! At that point, it was like a Bee trying to move an Elephant stuck in mud. He ended up just throwing me around on the strap.

If he hadn't put the rear axles into a ditch across the road it would have been epic! Ended up having to have a Penn Dot snow plow get him cleared to bring the rear trailer axles up.

Either way, the JK was pretty fricking awesome

Towing out my former pastor during a severe ice storm--he'd ended up in the ditch you see in the background ...



Seven Jeeps, various models and mod's, but everyone had to be winched up this slippery, rocky hill at Clayton, OK ...



High Roller pulls me out after I take a wrong turn exiting Kenny's Hill on Fins and Things during last year's Easter Jeep Safari ...



San Diegans absolutely do not know how to drive in the snow, much less ice. And this one was probably drunk, to boot. Mt Laguna ...


BTW: Don't follow our example here. Tow in forward gears, not reverse. The gears are stronger.

Towing out fallen trees on my church's property following another severe ice storm. We were moving them out beside the road where we'd cut them up for FEMA trucks to collect ...

What's stronger? The factory hitch or the tow hook? I have a monster hook that I can put in the receiver for pulling duty. It is a solid one piece hook that weighs like 15 pounds.

You buy shipping ~$10 and I'll send you my factory tow hook that goes on the left side of the frame in the rear. You have front tow hooks?
No It's fine decided to buy one of the AEV Milspec Bumpers, but that will be in about 4 months, I'm not gonna do some hard wheeling until then, I don't have the stock tow hooks on the bumper I'll go look and see if I see any tow areas.

Thanks for the offer Goody!

Well, it's obvious that the X/Sport is pulling out the Rubi. Which reminds me of these pics of one of JK-Forum's senior moderators (who shall remain nameless).
